ARSENALISM©

A third of Arsenal's League games have been won.  In a third of Arsenal's League games points  have been dropped. Tonight we begin the final third and if we replicate the form of the first two thirds we will accumulate a further 21 points which will leave us with 63 points; not a significant amount is it?  Bookies generally go on form so to prove them wrong  the objective is clear: we need to up our game significantly. Let's start tonight with a towering victory because, cups cup aside, we may very well need to rely on goal difference  come May 24th.

Victory was also achieved in the Charity Shield/Community Shield or whatever it's called these days to start this season on a positive note. The acquisition of Alexis Sanchez gave Arsenal supporters optimism and after seeing Campbell in the flesh at the World Cup it seemed that we had a decent striker on our hands, and at that same world Cup we saw three of our own lift the big one. It was noticeable that we had a summer without speculation regarding the departure of our better players: could this be because no one wants them? Although Vermaelan's form had been patchy his departure along with the loss of Sagna made it clear that we needed to purchase some defensive reinforcements to add to the promising Callum Chambers and Mathieu Debussy-clear it seems, to all but the manage...
